So my mom loves Halloween, and when I say she loves it, I mean it's like better than Christmas and almost as good as her birthday because on her birthday my dad totally gets up early and makes her breakfast and gets her flowers and treats her like a princess which she sort of is sometimes. But anyway, I think Halloween is pretty cool, so I am having a costume contest. Please e-mail your entries to emilyandian @ gmail.com (take out the spaces - I'm tricking the robots). And in honor of Halloween, here is a one of my mom's favorite pictures of Meg who lived here before me and I have to pay homage to the one who got my mom and dad addicted to Bostons - if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here.

Edit: entries will be accepted until Sunday night at 11pm CST. Voting will begin on Monday and end on Halloweeeeeeeeen!

So today it was all rainy and stuff but my dad wanted to go to the forest which is like a forever drive away and we went there with my grandma and walked around in the rain and it was awesome. I even rolled in poop so I had to sleep on the floor in the car because my mom said I was too stinky to sleep on her lap. Whatever. Then I got a bath ... again.

These are stump paths which are cool.

This is a picture of me contemplating what the forest means to me.

And this is a picture of me running through the forest because I'm really fast like my fiance, Martha.

And this is a picture of me and my dad by a really cold and loud waterfall.

And yes, all the wedding attire will be pink. Wally, Joe, Doofus and Stan all have to wear pink tuxes with me.

So, Martha said yes, and that pretty much means that I am the luckiest dog ever. I know that she will want to do all the planning because she's the girl, but I want to know who will come out for my bachelor party - all you dudes are invited! Maybe we can use Aire Ruby for a destination party and wedding. I am just soooo excited. Is it tacky to serve Kitty Roca as an appetizer? Should we have nap time between the ceremony and reception?So here is a picture of what I think we will look like on our wedding day. We don't have a date set yet, so I hope she still wants to marry me!I LOVE MARTHA!

First off - all the crossed paws worked and my grandpa is in the clear - no cancer, but he has to have a follow up CT in 1 year just to make sure the dodgy area doesn't change. Thanks for all the well-wishes all you doggies and hamster!

So my buddy,Balboa, is a hard-hitting journalist and he interviewed me. Here is the story ...

1. What would you describe as the perfect date for you and your sweetie Martha?

Well first, I would pick Martha up in a vintage Rolls Royce, because she’s a really classy gal, but my mom would have to drive because my legs are too short and then we could be in the backseat together which would be awesome.

Then we would go through the drive-thru at Culvers and get burgers and frozen custard, but no fries for me because I tend to barf them up in cars and I don’t think my mom would want me barfing in an old Rolls. Then we would cruise the town with our heads out the window barking at all the dogs we see so they could see how cool we are. Then I would take her to Cartier and buy her a custom collar with a diamond tag that says her name and number on it and it would be engraved “Love, Ikes.” It would look something like this.

Then I would take her home for a game of bitey face and we would roll and snort on the rug for a while and then probably fall asleep because we would have been awake for like three hours or something. And the next day we would go to MinnehahaFalls and walk around and maybe wade in the shallow pool for a while and then I would ask her to marry me because she’s the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen!

2. You've been asked to design the "perfect" doggie treat, what would you come up with?

The perfect treat would not make me gain weight and every time I take a bite, it would grow back and it would taste like peanut butter and would have non-toxic chocolate on it and when I’m hot, it would be cold and when I’m cold, it would be hot.

3. If you were allowed to get a job, what would you do? How much would you get paid?

I would be a professional mommy and daddy kisser (not like when I was a professional puppy maker though, because that was torture and I would never want to go back to that.) And I think I would have to make $8.50 per kiss and I would kiss a lot so I could pay back my mom’s student loans because then she could work less and spend more time with me and more time with me = more kisses = more money = no more student loans! Man, am I a great guy!

4. Would you choose between a three-month supply of peanut butter and cheese filled kongs OR laying on the couch with your mom for 24 hours straight?

I think I would pick the Kongs, because my mom is really lazy and will lie on the couch with me all the time anyway.

5. If you could tell your mom and dad one thing, what would you say? Why?

Warning: this might be a little sappy.

I would tell my mom and dad that I love them sooooo much and that I am so thankful that they adopted me and that they are patient with me because I am weird with other people but I can’t help it because of what happened to me before and I think it would be called post-traumatic stress disorder if I were a naked ape. I would tell my mom and dad that they are the best when they defend me when people say I’m a freak when I approach them and then get scared and run away and thanks for putting up with my awesome, rank farts and the tongue prints on the couch and when I accidentally poop on the floor sometimes and pretty much that I love them more than anyone else in the whole world.

These are the rules:1. If you are interested in being interviewed, leave me a comment saying, 'interview me.'2. I will respond by posting five questions for you. I get to pick the questions.3. You will update your blog with a post containing your answers to the questions.4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
